You buy your mileage up front in 1000km increments..... all light vehicles undergo a comprehensive safety inspection at 6 or 12 monthly intervals depending on the year of manufacture - pre 2000 it's 6 monthly and 2000 or later it's 12 monthly. God help you if you are over your ruc/mileage when...- Kiwif150

Auto diesel vs diesel #2?
Here diesel is not taxed at the pump for any vehicle - rather the govt charges for a distance licence which varies depending on the weight band you fall into. Something like an idi f250 would fall between 3.5 ton and 6 ton so would pay 8.2 cents per Km (under 3.5 ton glw it's 7.6 cents/km) , a...- Kiwif150

Another Interesting IDIT Failure
Had a D4D Hilux 3.0 through the shop a while back that looked like that - it hadn't had the oil changed for 60000km and it looked just like that in the sump.- Kiwif150

The wife has murder in her eyes
make sure the intercooler hoses are all tight , check airflow restrictions .... if you can slide a swab down the intake manifold - it's quite common for later model crd to "gum up" the intake as a mixture of oily vapours combined with hot egr will cake themselves onto the manifold .... the best...- Kiwif150

2.4 MB 4cyl diesel into a 1989 Ford Ranger supercab
Nice simple basic 1 wire needed to run engine right up until 2006.... as long as you don't cook them they are great. Got one about to be in bits at the moment as the owner cooked it .... i'll post up some pics for you as i put another head on it.- Kiwif150

Best economy chip for 7.3 psd ?
Well we got the Hydra Chip . fitted it and what a different truck to drive - can actually clean up a 3.2 ranger until 65mph now!!!!! That took a Brazilian team a long time to get the steering wheel moved over :):) so i think we'll just have to leave it there for now LOL- Kiwif150

lightweight and smallish diesel for Fox Body Ford
Wes explained it pretty well. I was involved a few years ago with building an LD28 nissan diesel up to run in a jet boat ..... we turboed it, made up a water to air intercooler for it , decompressioned it and replaced the flywheel with a beefed up flexplate. Blew up 3 engines before we got it...- Kiwif150

lightweight and smallish diesel for Fox Body Ford
Well it will just come down to $$$ really ..... modifying a small diesel to become rev happy will come at a cost and reduced reliability especially if you are going common rail and veggie oil. Dropping a complete engine and trans package will likely give a better cost benefit than modifying...- Kiwif150

lightweight and smallish diesel for Fox Body Ford
Why would you want to go for high revs rather than taking advantage of the high compression high torque nature of a diesel?

lightweight and smallish diesel for Fox Body Ford
If you don't mind computer controls and wiring then look into something like the range rover 3.0 v6 twin turbo diesels ..... 6500 rpm for a diesel is pretty hard to arrive at without spending lots of moolah. The Lion series of engines run from 2.7 hdi V6 up to the 4.4L tdi V8 and would be...- Kiwif150
